Ah, then it was a misunderstanding. By you posting,

Last night, I overclocked my system,
I assumed you overclocked your CPU, which wouldn't really have worked due to the reasons i mentioned. But it turns out it was the RAM. Yeah, when you have difficulty getting XMP stable and already have to raise some voltages for that, then it's best not to try to raise the frequency past the XMP speed. Plus, once you attempt that, it's hard to say where the limiting factor is anymore, because the RAM was only validated for XMP, not higher. So now the limitation might be purely from the RAM side, and not the memory system.

Whatever you can make stable at XMP, or even with a bit optimized timings, i'd stick to that. If you wanted DDR5-6000, it would've been better to get a kit of that to begin with.
Although the performance difference from -5600 is not that huge.

I apologize for the confusion in my previous explanation. I now believe that setting the memory to 5600MHz is sufficient for my needs. When I increased the timings and benchmarked the performance using AIDA, I didn't notice a significant improvement, likely due to my CPU's limitations. I'm hopeful that I won't encounter any errors or experience a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) moving forward.
